For example, in our daily urban life – with the exception of some pets – we tend to perceive most insects and small animals as annoying , unidentifiable, and unpleasant. That's how in some school courses they "grade on a curve" where if no one can get a perfect score on a test, they change the score so the highest existing score is changed to 100, and all the other people who took the test also have the same amount added to their score (or at least that's the way I'm most familiar with, it might be possible to do so with a somewhat different method). Thus they can have an unreasonably difficult test without causing abnormally low scores that will cause tons of students to get failing grades.-- 162.158.75.134 17:25, 7 July 2020 (UTC) The "curve" technically refers to a bell curve; that is adjusting the letter grades by organizing the students into bins based on that distribution (the ~68% of students nearest the average grade get a C, then the 14% just above that get a B and the top 2% get an A, and the same pattern going down for D and F). However most instructors who say they "grade on a curve" don't do that since grades rarely fit that curve, and this often unfairly punishes students who performed well but weren't the top score. EG if the scores are all between 90% and 100% correct then the student(s) who got 90% correct will receive an F. Most of my experience with "grading on a curve" has been that the instructor sets the highest score achieved to represent 100%, but I have also had professors who adjust the grading bands so most students get a B or better. The latter method avoids forcing a failing mark on students who just happened to get the lowest score, but unlike adjusting the 100% level down it provides no benefit to someone who did significantly worse than their peers. 162.158.78.10 13:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC) We are generally intolerant of those ‘small things’ that are within the range visible to the naked eye. There are several things that UNC might stand for, but to me none of them suggests a rating scale. Open to suggestions, of course. JohnB ( talk) 00:10, 7 July 2020 (UTC) there was approved a new common standard for the global community, based upon a value calculated from a giant object we all share alike, the Earth.

The Convention of Meter, concluded in France in 1875, established a single-unit system to be shared and comparable on the international level. The COMFORT Scale is another pain scale designed for people who can't describe or rate their pain, such as: Today, using a microscope with the highest amplification powers available, the limit to what we can ‘see’ is the atom at best. Just as we will never be able to grasp the extremely immense universe as a reality because we are not able to see its full picture, I thought that 9 was omitted because Windows skipped version 9 when doing their version releases (mostly due to the fact that there was Windows 95 and Windows 98 which began with 9).

Our bodies are made up of cells, each of which is an aggregation of tens of millions of microbes, and each of these microbes in turn is loaded with genes.

I think the most likely candidate from w:UNC is the numismatic code for an uncirculated coin. — Scs ( talk) 00:49, 7 July 2020 (UTC) Unified National Coarse is the name of a scale (not a rating on it) for thread sizes (for screws, nuts, bolts, etc.) 172.69.68.187 02:12, 7 July 2020 (UTC) What popped into my head when I saw UNC was the University of North Carolina. But that wouldn't be right, without other schools on the list. These Are Not The Comments You Are Looking For ( talk) 04:07, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Qualitative pain scales answer the question, "What does it feel like?" They can give your healthcare provider ideas about the cause of your pain, whether it's associated with any medical problems you have, or whether it's caused by the treatment itself.

the cosmos itself is continually growing and waning. Even tomorrow, we may find contrasting results or new discoveries. The existence of a standardized, official value for size has given new meaning to our world. Today, I think the faces are supposed to correspond to a face-based pain scale, which is supported by the fact that they occur at similar places to the pain scale and that the frowny face looks more like the frowny face from one of these charts than any traditional sad face emoji. 172.69.250.44 02:45, 7 July 2020 (UTC)In the earliest stages of the universe, tiny fluctuations within the universe's density led to concentrations of dark matter gradually forming. Ordinary matter, attracted to these by gravity, formed large gas clouds and eventually, stars and galaxies, where the dark matter was most dense, and voids where it was least dense. After around 100–300 million years, [44] :333 the first stars formed, known as Population III stars. These were probably very massive, luminous, non metallic and short-lived. They were responsible for the gradual reionization of the universe between about 200–500 million years and 1 billion years, and also for seeding the universe with elements heavier than helium, through stellar nucleosynthesis. [45] According to the general theory of relativity, far regions of space may never interact with ours even in the lifetime of the universe due to the finite speed of light and the ongoing expansion of space. For example, radio messages sent from Earth may never reach some regions of space, even if the universe were to exist forever: space may expand faster than light can traverse it. [51] In this comic, Randall has blended many traditional rating scales to create a "universal rating scale". Unfortunately, the mixing of these scales creates a scale that is impossible to use. Only a subset of the values of each rating scale is included, further weakening its claim as a "universal" scale. The result is much like the attempt to create a "universal standard" in 927: Standards. According to the Big Bang theory, the energy and matter initially present have become less dense as the universe expanded. After an initial accelerated expansion called the inflationary epoch at around 10 −32 seconds, and the separation of the four known fundamental forces, the universe gradually cooled and continued to expand, allowing the first subatomic particles and simple atoms to form. Dark matter gradually gathered, forming a foam-like structure of filaments and voids under the influence of gravity. Giant clouds of hydrogen and helium were gradually drawn to the places where dark matter was most dense, forming the first galaxies, stars, and everything else seen today. The universe is all of space and time [a] and their contents, [10] including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy. The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological description of the development of the universe. According to this theory, space and time emerged together 13.787 ±0.020billion years ago, [11] and the universe has been expanding ever since the Big Bang. While the spatial size, if any, of the entire universe is unknown, [3] it is possible to measure the size of the observable universe, which is approximately 93 billion light-years in diameter at the present day.
